John writes....My interest is the railroad locomotive cranes used by the US Army.

Below is what I have found to date. As you can see there are a lot of wholes. Most of this comes from the builder's records. If anyone has additional information on this equipment they can share -please contact me [ jtaub at juno.com ] or Nancy [ cunningb2@gmail.com ]

We salute all those who serve and have served and thank them for their service.
It's so important that we keep the history of their accomplishments alive and that's the reason for this blog.

The vets and increasingly their children and grandchildren help keep the efforts of our WWII, Korea and other wars/conflicts soldiers alive by contributing to this blog!

Please if you have a photos, letters, document or other information that adds to our knowledge of the service of our Military Railway soldiers, please contact me and I will help you share it with others.

I get emails every week from someone who learned about a father's, grandfathers, uncle's service from information they found here. Quite frequently, I get emails saying that someone saw a previously unknown photo of their relative here ..

Please help me keep this going...

Email me today if you have something to share ... I also buy what documents and books I can so it all doesn't all go into the hands of private collectors and I scan and publish for all to see, everything I buy and you can also help with that effort by donating here you can also donate your items to me.

If you have any materials connected to these great Army Railway units please share them here with the families of the soldiers. If you are a collector or memorabilia dealer PLEASE share copies or scans of items BEFORE you sell these priceless materials to private collectors . I will hold the copies until after they sell.
